ThermokarstLandscape dominated by depressions, pits, and caves that is created by the thawing of ground ice in high latitude locations. Resembles karst landscape but is not created by chemical weathering.

Thermokarsthigh-altitude landscape holed pitted by selective permafrost thawing. Karst without the chemical weathering..

Thermokarstin periglacial areas, the melting of ground ice causes subsidence and creates a very uneven surface.

ThermokarstThe process by which characteristic landforms result from the thawing of ice-rich permafrost or the melting of massive ground ice.

ThermokarstLand surface in Arctic areas characterised by very irregular surfaces of marshy hollows and small mounds formed when ice-rich permafrost thaws.
